Facilities

Dedicated Centres: Our Bangalore facility includes a specialized 40-bedded Paediatric Oncology Centre with a Bone Marrow Transplantation unit, while our Bhubaneswar facility offers a 50-bedded Paediatric Oncology unit.

Child-Friendly Environment: Both centres feature a two-level play area designed to provide a comforting environment for children undergoing treatment.

School-Away-from-School: We ensure that children can continue their education during treatment, so they don’t miss out on their academic milestones.

ACT Clinics: Our After Completion of Treatment (ACT) clinics provide free follow-up care until the age of 25, ensuring that all developmental milestones are met.

Comprehensive Support: We offer scholarships, nutrition support, and monthly activities like puppet shows, movie time, magic shows, and art therapy to make the treatment process more bearable for children.

Dream Fulfillment: In partnership with Make-a-Wish Foundation, India, we help make our young patients' dreams come true, bringing joy and hope during difficult times.

Accessibility: We have provisions for disabled patients and visitors who need wheelchair, stretcher, or oxygen assistance.
